Read a book about collecting:

Explore Toy & Miniature Museum:

Dollhouses – children had to be very clever in decorating their dollhouses. Look in the Victorian dollhouses and find items that children created using things from around their own house (yes, even kids in the 1800’s were into recycling!). Search for items that we may no longer use in our homes today.

Crazy over Star Wars or Barbies? The museum has a huge collection of Star Wars toys and Barbie doll memorabilia from over the decades. See if there’s any item in the gallery that your parents may have had as kids (or maybe still have in their own collection).

Play marble games in the Marble Room, and admire the 1,000,000 marbles in the museum’s collection – one of the largest in the world!

See Dolls from Many Nations and discuss the various countries that are represented.

Dolls are a type of universal toy – they exist in so many cultures around the world, and have for many years.

Or visit the exhibit of games and wind-up toys to find out how many you recognize.

Don’t forget to pick up the museum's Scavenger Hunt to use during your visit.
